El Mariachi Ti
The El Mariachi is our get-it-done-well-everyday mountain bike. It is proof that a mountain bike can kick ass repeatedly.
We first introduced our steel El Mariachi in 2007, and riders have given it rave reviews ever since. The El Mariachi Ti joined the dance party in 2011 and has gained similar accolades.
In fact, in July 2011, Salsa sponsored rider Kurt Refsnider rode his El Mariachi Ti to victory in the Tour Divide race from Banff, Alberta, Canada to Antelope Wells, New Mexico.
Titanium tubing provides the El Mariachi Ti with the finest ride quality: a delectable mix of low weight, stiffness, and vibration damping.
Whether you’re putting on the really big boy (or girl) pants and taking on the Tour Divide or a NUE-series 100-miler, or just joining your local crew for an all-day trail riding beatdown, the El Mariachi Ti will keep you coming back for another delicious serving of dirt.
El Mariachi Ti. If you wanna dance, you gotta pay the band.
